Villajoyosa  Alto de Aitana

The queen stage of the first week, five categorised climbs through the Costa Blanca mountains: El Miserat, Tollos, Tudons and Benifallim before the final ascent. The finish at Alto de Aitana is a first category summit above 1,500 metres, and the terrain before it offers little recovery.
